The difference between IRL and NASCAR

Remember a few months ago when Ashley Judd's husband won the Indy 500? It was big news. Headlines all over the country screamed, "Ashley Judd's husband wins Indy 500."

Today, some guy named Dario Franchitti signed with Chip Ganassi Racing. Chip Ganassi Racing is in NASCAR. This guy named Dario Franchitti is going to drive the No. 40 car, the one with all the ads on it. This story mentions that this guy named Dario Franchitti is the reigning Indy 500 champ, but the story makes no mention of Ashley Judd.

Which leads me to one conclusion: Ashley Judd is the most interesting thing about the Indy Racing League, but doesn't even warrant mention once the story upgrades to NASCAR.
